The Rhode Island Society for the en couragement of domestic industry, has shown a most laudable activity in encour aging experiments in the manufacture of flax, ever since there was any hope of mak ing it a competitor of cotton. llow dili gent the Society has been i- '.veil known to those aware of its proceedings. In pur suanee of its policy it now offers premium to stimulate our citizens to compete fur ex cellence in the preparation of flax for the use of the spinner. The experiments which have thus far been made, served to to eacourage those, who are capable of judging, in the belief that flax may be used for the manufacture of a cheap and durable fabric. which shall serve for many, if not for ail, the purpo-es of cotton. The social and political, as well as the economical results oi the substitution of flax for Cot ton, are too apparent and have been too of ten enlarged upon to render any words ne cessary at this time. The society deserves the thanks and hearty cooperation of aii our citizens. We trust that many compet itors may enter the lists for the prizes the society offers, Let Ithodc Island obtain the preeminence in the manufacture of flax that she has reached in the manufac ture of cotton. Ou. - experience gives U: some obvious advantages in experiments of the kind required for carrying to perfec tion the manufacture of flax.— Prot. Jour nal. PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. aiTM. A.
